Electromechanical relay Finder 39.01.8.230.0060 230 V AC 6 A 1 changeover contact

Finder electromechanical relay 39.01.8.230.0060 is a general-purpose SPDT (one changeover contact) relay with a 230 V AC coil and a rated switching current of 6 A. The relay provides galvanic isolation between the coil and contacts and is designed for use in control panels, automation equipment and building electrical installations. Its compact design allows installation in sockets or on DIN-rail compatible bases and it is compatible with standard relay holders for straightforward maintenance and replacement.

Advantages

The relay offers a compact footprint and standardised pinout for easy installation and replacement in existing relay circuits. Its electromechanical switching provides clear contact separation and reliable switching of resistive and moderately inductive loads up to the specified 6 A rating. The 230 V AC coil matches typical mains control voltages used in industrial and building automation applications, and the robust construction ensures stable electrical isolation between coil and contact circuits.

Suitable for

• Control panels and machine control circuits
• Building automation and lighting control
• Switching of resistive loads and small motors within the rated current
• Replacement of standard SPDT relays in sockets and DIN-rail mounted holders

Key specifications

• Coil voltage: 230 V AC
• Contact configuration: 1 changeover (SPDT)
• Rated switching current: 6 A
• Contact type: electromechanical
• Mounting: plug-in/socket or DIN-rail compatible base
• Isolation: galvanic separation between coil and contacts

How to use

Mount the relay in a compatible socket or on a DIN-rail base following the manufacturer’s mounting instructions and ensuring correct orientation of the contact and coil terminals. Apply 230 V AC to the coil terminals to energise the relay; verify that the supply matches the coil voltage before connection. Connect load and control circuits to the common, normally open and normally closed contact terminals according to the intended switching logic. Perform functional checks with the system de-energised where possible and then under controlled power to confirm correct operation before returning the equipment to service.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the switched load does not exceed the 6 A rating and observe correct wiring practices and safety standards. Avoid switching high inrush currents above the relay’s capacity; for inductive or high inrush loads use appropriate suppression or a relay/contacting device sized for those conditions. Periodically inspect the relay and socket connections for wear, contamination or overheating in long-term installations.
